Which oil do you use for cooking? When I ask this question to my clients, as an answer I get a name of a brand. Edible oil is obtained from a variety of foods. Groundnut oil: Mild flavoured, used for frying, salad dressings, cooking, and preparing margarine. Sunflower oil: Extracted from sunflower seeds, it is bland in flavour, pale yellow in colour and is known as an all purpose cooking oil.

Recently got to know that pomace oil is not the good one to use as it is processed and not the purest form of olive oil. So we started using Extra virgin oil for regular cooking. Does the usage of extra virgin oil for regular indian cooking effect health in any way. Is it preferrable for daily consumption? Please suggest as my husband is facing some health issues ( uneasiness in the stomach after eating) ever since we started using extra virgin oil.Please update me as i suspect change in oil could be the reason for this.
